We booked the twin room and got a room on the upper floor which was perfect for us. Steps to get there were wide and easy to climb. Room was clean and great for a short stay. Bed was comfy which is important. Bathroom was also very clean - also important. Air conditioner worked extremely well, we found that we didn’t have to use it too much. Very happy with the stay and enjoyed the artwork around the house. Don’t forget to visit the rooftop. Lovely!

We have used this hotel multiple times, nice and clean rooms, minimalist design with free carparking. No lifts so might be challenging for those who cannot handle staircases, although they do have some ground floor rooms. Location is quiet, away from the tourist areas which are within walking distance

Cool, clean, modern vibe perfect for the independent traveller. Excellent location as quiet but some shops a few minutes away and a 9 minute walk via A Famosa into the centre of town and free parking.
The room itself - a deluxe twin - was light and airy with a small, modern bathroom spotlessly clean with free toiletries and good shower. The bed was the most comfortable I have slept in for a long time.
There is no room service but when we arrived very late to check in and phoned for someone to let us in they were there in minutes . This is a great place for a no fuss stay and excellent value.

Nice terrace house turned into Boutique Hotel & beautiful Rooftop.
- Overall experienced was nice. However the roads to the hotel is not so convenient, easily missed the side roads.
- Staff was great & friendly. But there is no lift access which can be tough for anyone with knees pain.
- Hot water may not be switch On at all times, & this can be inconvenent for guests.
- Just a suggestions, the staircases is slippery may work on something to enhance the safety.

This small unique hotel was exactly as advertised .
You could see the architect had cleverly reconstructed and re designed turning an old structure into this modern one .
We had one of two downstairs garden rooms which we were thankful for as other rooms had quite a climb up many steps .
Comfortable rooms , decent space , pillows bed all good . Loved the shower open air ventilations to small garden area .
Communal area with snacks , filtered water . Tea coffee .
Quiet area ( only noise occasionally from one of the cats hoping to visit room )only 10 minutes walk to town or get Grab .Both staff members exceedingly friendly and helpful .
Enjoyed our 3 nights there.

Nous avons séjournés deux nuits au Nest House. Nous n’avons que de bonne chose à dire sur cet hôtel boutique. Le personnel est avenant, notre chambre était très confortable. Nous avions accès à divers produits café, thé même des nouilles dans une cuisinette à côté de la réception. Frigo, bouilloire, micro-ondes.

Nous pouvions aussi disposer d’une belle terrasse sur le toit avec tables et fauteuils.
L’endroit est un peu en retrait de la rue principale ce qui ajoute au calme..

Good place to rest your head in Malacca

Very clean, big rooms and unlimited free tea, coffee and snacks. Staff very helpful and friendly.
There are no lifts so staff offer to carry heavy luggage to the upstairs rooms. The hotel's no-shoes policy may be considered to be a safety issue in some western countries and by some guests. The hotel might like to advertise this policy in advance.

Cosy little place if you are looking for something different from what a typical hotel offers since the number of units is only 10. The receptionist is friendly and helpful. A little pricey considering the size of the room. There's a little common pantry with free flow of coffee, cream crackers and maggi in a cup.

Its okay but noisy

Nice hotel, good service but a few issues I found, I didn't have a good night sleep because being on the ground floor next to reception was very noisy, lots of banging and throughout the night. Also there is a very strict check out process where they will check your room before you leave, which seems like they mistrust every customer that stays but over all its probably a nice stay if you aren't on the ground floor

Need to climb stairs (No Lift)

The place is clean & secure, pantry has some instant snacks & cup noodles which is good but no lift - I stay at level 3, hence need to climb stairs. No phone in room, so whatever u need from reception, need climb up & down too, u need drink also same but at least they have bottle water for us. My mum only drink boiled water so I need to climb up & down just to get it for her. More suitable for youngster stay

Bathroom size is quite small. I opted for extra bed, but got a single size mattress on the floor instead. Location is good, parking is good too. Coffee,tea and snacks provided near reception.Would be better if there is a kettle in the room to boil water.

Rooms were clean and well maintained. Appreciate The Nest House's effort to be more eco-friendly. Bottled water was provided but there's also a water dispenser at the lobby if you bring your own bottle. Beverages and simple food and snacks are also available. Convenient location with plenty of supper options within the vicinity.

Comfortable environment. The only cons will be once you step in, you will never want to go out😂 definitely will come back if I visit Melaka. Worth the price.

Beautiful, friendly and clean guest house with a lovely roof terrace, but unfortunately the lack of sound proofing doesn't make for an ideal nights sleep.

Clean and modern. Close to the mall, shops and other attractions. Jonker walk is about 10 minutes away by foot. Note that you have to remove your shoes everytime you enter the building. Parking is next to the building and limited but is free

Almost excellent

I've stayed here before, and am pleased to see that the place is as well-maintained as it was a year ago. The reservation and check-in process was smooth. Steven & Kelly provided all info promptly, accurately, and allowed us to check in a bit early. Car-parking is immediately adjacent to the property; very convenient.
Our room overlooked the road in front. Views are not great, but can't be helped. The immediate neighbourhood isnt attractive (it's actually along the backlane of several shophouses). The property itself, however, is clean, stylish and comfortable. Room has no safe, no comb/toothbrush, no fridge.

What I liked - room decor is stylish and contemporary. The bed and linen is very comfortable. Location is very close to Pahlawan mall & restaurants. Aircon is effective. No shoes are allowed in the premises, so it's kept clean. Lobby has free and 24-hr snacks and tea/coffee.... very much appreciated.

What I didn’t like - the water in the shower never got hot during my three-day stay there. Frustrating.

All in all though, I can recommend Nest House as one of the more attractive and interesting places to stay in Melaka - but please, fix the hot water issue!

I like that it feels like I'm coming back to a clean, comfortable and nice home. The pantry has sufficient items. The guests sitting area in front of the check-in/staff desk is comfortable. The room is great. All-in-all, everything is good.

Just minor suggestion. Not sure whether The Nest House receives a lot of Muslim guests. But it may be useful if you show \"Qiblat\" direction (the direction where we face to pray) as small mark on the floor.

I've stayed here twice. Definitely will be staying again the next time I come to Melaka :) Love it!

MY NUMBER ONE CHOICE IN MELAKA

I LOVE THIS HOTEL! It's so cozy and welcoming. The vibes are on point for this hotel. Location is good too. Really no complaints at all. Very clean rooms and a cute pantry with free flow snacks and drinks.

Home away from home

The room size is perfect not so big not so small.
Very clean and the location is a stone throw away from the only malls worth going to in Malacca.
The staffs are friendly and the open pantry has everything to satisfy late night hunger pangs.
Will surely stay again in the future.

Such friendly staff!
Our room was super cute and quiet.
It’s in a great location, we walked to Jonker street each night for dinner and it only took about 10 minutes.

It has a communal kitchenette with free snack and filtered drinking water, which saved us a few trips to 711.

Would definitely stay again.

Nestled behind shophouses and busy streets in the day, the Nest House managed to keep serenity and tranquility for the guests. The moment we stepped in, it felt like home. The room I stayed in was Deluxe Queen Room, located at ground level, was smaller than expected but was very clean and pleasant. Fresh linens, towels, shampoo, soap, and conditioner were provided. Wifi was strong. We loved the pantry where the owner provided biscuits, fruits, bread and even instant noodles, complimentary for the guests. Mr. Lee was very friendly and patient during check in.

Downside was there is no elevator in this property, this anyone with disability need to request for room most convenient for them.

Small space

Miss few times to get the place. It not besides any main road is at the road behind the shop lot. No lift in this building . Nice decoration. Normal room. Very small space the bathroom. Difficult to shower inside the bathroom. Not worth with the money. Can get more better hotel near there .

Decent environment, Instagram lover would easily find spot for selfie. Great conception to have a common kitchen area to grab some simple breakfast & snack. Overall great, minor sound proofing drawback to be improved.

Lovely simple styling ‘Japanese’ style. Polished concrete floors, roof terrace, easy walking distance to centre - but get your bearings first as we walked the long way round in the May heat - it was hot! Lovely staff, lovely showers (great water pressure).

Fantastic Little Hotel with Excellent Facilities

We only stayed here for one night, but it was a great little hotel. It is within walking distance to the old town and all the attractions, super close to a shopping mall, and there were plenty of nearby shops and restaurants. They have excellent facilities, including a drinking water tap, and also a kitchenette where they offer a simple range of snacks,tea bread and spreads. The room itself was great, a super comfortable bed, AC and a ceiling fan, and an amazing hot shower which was super powerful! I would definetely recommend this hotel, and would love to stay there again!

We enjoyed our 2 nights stay in The Nest House! It feels like home. It's actually more like a homestay than a hotel, but good enough for short stays. The lady boss and other receptionists were very friendly! We didn't manage to book the bigger rooms, but the smaller rooms didn't disappoint. Room was clean, bed was comfortable too. Toilet comes with a rain shower and shower head. Basic amenities are available: hairdryer, hair shampoo & conditioner and body foam. The snacks/cup noodles/fruits at the pantry are free for everyone, the lady boss said she's worried that her guests get hungry in the middle of the night when the shops are closed. You cannot wear your shoes in the hotel, so that's a little bit troublesome but not a biggie at all. No one made up our room during the 2 nights stay, not sure if that's available upon request, but we are fine since it's just a short stay. It's a short walk to the shopping malls, there are a few Peranakan & Korean restaurants, coffee shops, and has a good massage place called Scent & Senses nearby. You can travel around by walking or by taking Grab. Grab is very convenient and cheap! Overall, very pleasant experience! (:

Excellent security and clean hotel. Hope all guests can help maintain the place clean and smoke free. Hope the property owners can indicate the level of each room so that guests can make informed choices. Guests who needs accessibility can request for 1st level rooms while guests who don’t mind climbing stairs and enjoy privacy can book the other levels.
